Hey, when i press automatic weights, it just brings up an error like "Bone Heat Weighting: failed to find solution for one or more bones", do you have any idea what thats about? When i rotate my bones, the model doesnt rotate with it

[@808mike]

"You're God now!" is what I always think when watching blender character modeling and animating tutorials

[@FlamingFoxProd]

Right off the bat, first mistake: *DO NOT MOVE YOUR BONES IN OBJECT MODE* It's important that both your model and your armature have their origin at the center. The Origin point is marked by that little orange dot. If you move it in Object Mode, it will move the origin as well. If either your model or armature are off center, it can cause issues during the rigging process. To make sure your object has its origin at the center, press Ctrl+A in Object Mode, and select "All Transforms". This will apply the object's current location, rotation, and scale.

[@chelmattson]

kinda but you can move your origin point wherever you want whenever it's necessary

[@xbiggxx]

crazy that I watched a 20 min video on rigging and I got so confused and then I watch this 1 minute video and its so easy, thank you so much!
